• Backup on external hard drive problems...

  I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

  Concerning

  Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

  The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

  The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

  Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

  Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

  Mr President.

  and then restore from an external hard drive?

  Also my computer does not work since the external hard drive
  without restoring the internal hard disk.

  Hello

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I'll certainly try and help you perform the backup.

  Windows Backup backup all folders selected the first run and then it only backs up files that are new or have been modified since the last backup was made. Periodically, Windows creates a new, full of back up. Each full backup is called in a backup. When you view your backups of files, you can see all the backup periods with date ranges.

  Meet your respective questions:

  1. Yes, you can backup your data to the external hard drive (250 GB) disk hard.

  2. Yes, after taking the back upward, you can format your hard drive.

  3. Yes, the reinstallation of Windows 7, you can also restore the backup of data from the external hard drive.

  4. no, you will not be able to start the computer from the external hard drive (hard drive backup).

  I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below in the Microsoft article:

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• backup to external hard drive, removal of the movies on computer?

  I want to know if I got back to the top of my itunes library on an external hard drive I can remove my itunes on my computer movies to save space on this subject? It is my friends computer and I don't want to take up space. And then I still see them on my apple TV if the movies are not on my internal hard drive?

  I am new to this and I wanted to know if my apple tv can stream after I deleted movies from my computer? I have no idea how it works, as far as I know I need to get back to the top of my purchases...

  Backup and deletion are not back up. Backup is always to have two copies of everything, preferably on completely separate players in different locations.

  In order to play something through iTunes, it must be added to iTunes.  You can add files from a separate iTunes drive and make them stay on the player by holding down the option key while adding, but there may be painful to see broken links if the drive is not attached when using iTunes constantly.

  You can listen to an AppleTV iCloud films apparently, but I can't provide details.  This should work for you, unless it's one of those elements is no longer in the Apple Store (and your reason to always make sure that you have a copy on your hard disks).

• Connection between the computer and the external hard drive stopped during the backup

  The connection between my PC and my external hard drive has been accidentally cut while I perform a backup. Since then I reconnected my external hard drive to my computer and come back again.

  Windows continue my back up where it left off, or he adds a new point backup on my external hard drive?

  Hi Brandon,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I would like to inform you that, if the backup is interrupted and it is asking to start the backup. Then, you will need to perform a new backup.

• Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

  * Original title: backup location

  I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

  Hi Janis,

   
  The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
   
  I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
   
  Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
  Reference: turn off the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-7

  Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

   
  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:

• Backup to external hard drive on iCloud > > used internal hard disk space

  Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

  I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

  Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

  The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

  Thanks for any information you have.

  Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

  iCloud does not synchronize data from logic X.

• Problem moving iTunes to external hard drive

  Hi my old laptop (works on Windows Vista) think that all my music is located on the way on my c: drive by default, in fact, all my music is on my external hard drive. I know how to change the path via the preferences on my hard drive, but how to import my music without creating a massive amount of duplicates? Thanks in advance for any help.

  See make a library of portable split. If your library is in the standard layout and that you moved the folder media manually, then move the main iTunes folder to the root of the drive, put the inside and shift-Start iTunes media folder. This must be equivalent to a simple move of a portable library.

  Otherwise, see this post - Re: iPod doesn't sync not all -advice on the reissue of links the library to the media outsourced. Ideally, you would set things in a provision of mobile as part of the same process to make sure that the library on external drive is ready to connect to any computer replacement. You should also backup to a second drive.

• How to restore my backup on external hard drive system

  I did a windows image backup of my Vista system on a Seagate external hard drive. Now I want to restore my system from the backup, but restore in control panel procedures does not recognize the files. Version of Vista professional, Service Pack 2. I tried Virtual PC, and vhd mounting procedures.

  Hello

  read this tutorial on how to do

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.
